After a five-hour journey, Aulia finally arrived at the boarding school that her parents had chosen, he immediately got out of his car and looked at the pesantren that looks very beautiful from the outside of the gate looks very much flowers blooming beautifully and trees that are so beautiful look very cool when eyes looked, Aulia's heart suddenly felt happy she seemed to be comfortable staying in the pesantren.
"Honey let's go in, we meet first with Alif Ibrahim.." call Ms. Mirna invites Aulia to enter the pesantren and meet kyai Alif Ibrahim (owner of Al-Mukarramah pesantren). "Yes Bun.." said Aulia who was still fascinated by the view from outside the pesantren. Aulia and Miss Mirna started walking into the boarding school.
"We've arrived, you wait outside ya.." said Ms. Mirna told Aulia to wait for him outside Pak Kyai's house. Aulia immediately denied the mother's request.
While waiting for Mirna's mother, suddenly Aulia's eyes were fascinated to see a rose that was blooming in the garden near the fish pond, she immediately approached the roses hoping to pick one for her.
"Wahhh, the roses are so beautiful." said Aulia fascinated to see the roses. When he was about to pluck it suddenly Aulia was surprised by a man, he was Muhammad Husein al-Faruq or known as Gus Faruq. "Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh, what is anti doing here. Sontak made Aulia a little surprised he thought if he would be scolded just for wanting to pick roses here, Aulia turned around and greeted the figure of the unknown man. "Waalaikumussalam, please don't be angry with me, I just want to pick one rose.." said Aulia while closing her eyes and bowing her head, and a little scared. Faruq who was looking at Aulia's cute mannerisms could only faintly smile. "I won't scold you, I'm just asking what the anti do here?." asked Faruq to Aulia. "Sorry who's anti? My name is Aulia not anti.." Answer Aulia. "I mean, what are you doing here?." explained Faruq holding back a laugh after hearing Aulia's reply. "Ohh, the intention was I wanted to pluck one rose, but if it is not allowed it is okay." replied Aulia would like to pluck the rose. "Ouh, you can pick roses here." replied Faruq allowing Aulia. Hearing Faruq's permission instantly made Aulia smile, she was finally able to pluck the beautiful rose. "But don't put your hands on it." said Faruq. "Why?.." asked Aulia in surprise. "You do not see thorns on the rose?, do not just because you see the beauty of the flower to forget that there are very sharp thorns in her body that prepare to injure your hand, if not careful." said Faruq warned Aulia of sharp thorns from the rose stalk. "Hehe, yes." answered Aulia sadly, because she could never have the rose. Faruq who saw Aulia's sad face also took the initiative to pluck the rose. "It's a rose for you." gave the rose to aulia. Aulia who saw it was happy, finally she could have the beautiful rose, because too happy to get the roses instantly made Aulia reflex to want to touch Faruq's hand, when Aulia was about to touch Faruq's hand for an intention to thank him. But Faruq who realized that Aulia would touch his hand rewinded his legs by three steps. "Kok ngejalan?." asked Aulia a little annoyed. "I don't want to come into contact with you, aseef." replied Faruq as he clasped his hands together. "Just want a shaman doang, to thank you.." explained Aulia. "Stay still!.." replied Faruq somewhat raising his voice. "Ck .. pompous is very.." Aulia muttered. "Am I arrogant?. If I am arrogant I did not help you earlier!." said Faruq. "Some just want a shaman to avoid." replied Aulia throw away face. "I'm just guarding myself from women who aren't mahrams." Faruq explained why he did not want to shake hands with Aulia. "What is Mahram?." asked Aulia, she did not know what mahram meant. "Later you know, if that's what I'll excuse you. Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh." Faruq turned around and stepped towards a place in the theatre. Aulia could only bow down to be ashamed of her behavior earlier, she immediately returned to Pak kyai's house not to forget she also brought a rose that had been picked by Faruq.
Aulia started walking out of the park.
Aulia who still felt guilty about her attitude earlier could only ponder while staring at the Deg rose,, .. "Aulia.." call Miss Mirna while patting Aulia on the shoulder. "Eh mother, is it over?." asked Aulia expressionlessly. "Udah, why are you so sad?." asked Mirna why Aulia was suddenly sad. "Gpp kok Bun, so where will I stay?." asked Aulia to distract the mother. "Oh yeah, you come with mr. Kyai will be shown the place." explained Ms. Mirna. "Oh okay.." answered briefly Aulia. " Let me take you to Aulia's stopover." said Pak Kyai. "Yes sir, my mother first yes see you again, mother do not forget to look at Aulia every few months.." Aulia's message to Ms. Mirna, so that he is visited every few months by the mother. "Yes dear." replied Miss Mirna hugging Aulia and holding back her tears. "Assalamualaikum Bun.." greetings Aulia who began to walk following pak kyai. "Waalaikumussalam warahmatullahi wabarakatuh, Aulia." replied Ms. Mirna while shedding tears, indeed she could no longer hold it.
Every step Aulia took towards her place of departure she always shed tears, she kept remembering her father and her mother who were now far away from her. A few minutes later Aulia finally arrived at her stopover. "This neng place is safe to rest yes, the activities for santri only start tomorrow, so tomorrow at 03:00 am neng should be awake for tahajud prayer, tahajud, then continued morning prayers and a short salary until 06:00, for those who are menstruating is intended to make breakfast and shop in the market.." explained pak kyai. "Yes sir, I understand so for today I do not act first?.." asked Aulia. "Stir, but must keep praying 5 times." Answer mr. kyai. "Okay sir, thank you very much." said Aulia thanking pak kyai. "Then I let go neng, assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh." pamit pak kyai
"Waalaikumussalam." replied Aulia.
Aulia immediately opened the door, she intended to rest for a while. When the door was opened how surprised Aulia was, she was surprised by 3 women her age. "Baaaa, assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh!. exclaimed they surprised Aulia behind the door. "aaa! Waalaikumussalam.." replied Aulia surprised. "Hi, know me Nadya almayra call me Nadya I'm 17, greetings ukhuwah.." greet one of them. "Greetings, my name is Aulia Sakinah call Aulia I am 17." replied Aulia introduced herself. "Hi, my name is Shakila Nazir call me 17 years old, hail ukhuwah.." another girl introduced herself to Aulia. "Aulia, 17 years old." replied Aulia shaking hands. "Hi, know my name Zurrah Maisarah 19 years old, greetings ukhuwah.." greet the last girl introduce herself. "Aulia, 17 years old..
Aulia who had just arrived then got a surprise like that made her a little embarrassed and happy, she thought she would be asked if she entered the pesantren, it turns out that all her thoughts were wrong so she now feels happy. "hopefully we can be good friends, Aulia." said Nadya happily. "Surely, thank you for everything." replied Aulia a little shyly. "Now we're going to have 4 places here, but the bed is separate." Kila. "Well, yeah." Answer Aulia. "Come, I show you the bed you don't forget the suitcase was also brought in." said Nadya. "Ah, yes." Aulia replied, carrying her suitcase. "Let's Aulia." said Kila. They also showed Aulia a bed. "Well your bed is here, right next to Kila." said Nadya showing Aulia's bed. "Well, thank you." Thank you Aulia to her three new friends. "Just as soon as you rest first yeah, the three of us want to go first." Nadya told Aulia to rest. "Where are you going?." asked Aulia curiously. "We want to hear the study presented by Ning Afifah and
Gus Faruq's." Nadya. "Ohh, can I come?." asked Aulia.
They also look at each other
"May I." Answer Nadya. "Thank you." said Aulia happily. "You should wear a veil to study, can you?." Zurrah told Aulia to wear a veil/niqob. "But I don't have one, why would I wear a veil?." asked Aulia. "Because there are a lot of ajnabi men." said Kila. "Ajnabi?." asked Aulia in surprise, what did the ajnabi man mean.
"The ajnabi man is a man who is not our mahram." Kila explained. "Ouh, but I don't have any niqob?."
"I'm a guarantee." Saut Nadya's. "Yes, thank you." Reply Aulia thank you. "There is also a special area of santriwan and santriwati, they can meet each other if there are certain events, such as studies, celebrations, Islamic holidays, etc. Hence men are rarely seen in this area." Said Kila explaining the special area santriwan and santriwati. "Ouhh, so how?." asked Aulia. "What?." said Kila. "By memorization, praying is not one?. Ask Aulia. "There are sessions each, here there are also 2 mosques so calm deh.." explained Kila. "Well, how do we meet men on the street? I'm wearing niqob." Aulia asked curiously. "Gpp is only pas2an ga over time look." explained Kila.
"This is Lia, you use it." said Nadya while giving niqob to aulia. "Thank you, this is how it makes." Aulia asked, she did not understand how to wear niqob because she had never worn it before. "I help ya.." said nadya help put on niqob. Niqob is now installed neatly on Aulia's face. "It turned out to be simple, make it." said Aulia smiling. "Yes, let's go to the study." Nadya asked. The 4-year-old rushed to the study.
"No." answered Nadya. "Ouhh, okay thanks for the info." replied Aulia. "Yeah, let's get on the show to start." Take Nadya. "Yes." answered Aulia, they entered the study room.
A few minutes later Gus Faruq and Ning Afifah began their study. This study discusses "the way to look good according to Islam". When she was about to start a greeting suddenly Gus Faruq looked at Aulia while watching her, Aulia who realized that also immediately threw away her face.
Then Faruq resumed his opening event.
SKIP...

While in the middle of the event Aulia unknowingly quietly noticed Gus Faruq, she felt her heart pounding when looking/fitting with Faruq. But it seemed that Faruq was taking care of her a lot, which made Aulia realize "there's no way a Gus Faruq likes a woman like me".
"She was a match for Ning Afifah.." Inner Aulia was self-conscious.
...
The event is almost over, now only the closing event. "Alhamdulillah, today's study ends here we as moderators and speakers apologize if there is a wrong word/speech that makes antum all you feel offended, we apologize profusely... ... .... ...." gus Faruq closes the study.
"Wassalamu'alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh.."
"Waalaikumussalam warahmatullahi wabarakatuh." cried the audience.
"Finally it's done, can open niqob nih.."seru Aulia, suddenly her hand stopped by Nadya. "Don't!, just stay where we are Lia.." Nadya ordered. "OK-okay sorry." said Aulia apologizing. "Yes, next time don't do that." said Kila. "You're still here?." said Faruq. "Eh yes Gus, again waiting for KK zurrah." replied Nadya. "Ouhh, yes first." said Faruq. "Qc.."
"Why Lia?." asked Nadya. "Gpp, is she really all the santriwati here?." asked Aulia. "Whoa, chilly hahaha." replied Nadya a little laugh.
"Ouhh, let's go back.." take zurrah
"Eh kk zurrah, come on." said Kila
The 4-year-old left the study and went to his place of residence.
